Anyway, in 3 days I'v seen 2 sets of their gear for sale on Facebook marketplace. Both times stating the gear is too big in size, referring to leg pads. I did receive information directly that their gear fits larger than the competition. And I was informed that they don't make 31 or smaller so I couldn't order if I wanted to. Thought I'd pass that on before anyone drops a few grand. These pads here are already on the market, all this money spent it's a shame, and a shame that no more are hitting stores for the consumer to try on and order the right fit.

Same size as the Eflex 4 that I wore last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ULTIMA Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 So are you guys gonna sell and drop more dough on correct Lefevre sizing stuff or go back elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprajake Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 its such a shame on the sizing thing, been there myself in brians, made that expensive mistake, i dont understand such a radical change in sizing, ive been a grown adult for a while now, and when i got my first new pads they were the vaughn v2 in a 35" pad, as were most of the pads i had round that time, slowly ive been going smaller and smaller to the point i cold actually use an intermediate pad in today's measuring terms, the new white pad looks nice tbf, ive always liked the look of the ccm stuff in the past, even bought some of the cheaper stuff, ive just been spoilt by what i use now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Lefebvre has been producing pads with the sizing running an inch or two bigger than the other companies since the Koho days. Someone there should make it official and start circulating that as a reminder on all of the affiliated sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuprajake Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 yeah, i think its common knowledge that ccm run bigger, but what im getting at is in 15yrs my pad size has shrunk 5" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going back to CCM with the pads. I will keep the gloves. I liked the idea of being made in North America, but I am disappointed in the sizing for sure.

I realized I need to go down to a 32+2 or 32+2.5 I thought it was just me. I am likely pickier than most about my pads. They felt huge when I tried them on. Visually they look the same as my other pads when siting side by side. It is the flat bottom that makes them sit higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckstopper Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 What would really frustrate me is that I don't see a sizing guide anywhere on their site. Yes, the 20.1 page mentions that the pad sits higher, but it doesn't specify that you should go down an inch or anything like that. Have any of the orders that ran large been 12.1 or 4.1? If so that's even more egregious. I'm not saying it's right, but it's at least kind of understandable if a new series fits slightly differently.

Appreciate all orders with them are custom but a sizing chart more public on their website would definitely help! I have been mulling over a pair and spoke to a dealer and specifically mentioned the flat boot making the pad sit higher. Im a 34" in most pads, but worried a 32" in Leferve may even be to big!

(never worn CCM/Reebok before to compare to them) Yes, I did see that. I never dreamed what a difference it would make as I have had pads with a flat boot before. I didn't take into account how chunky the boot is. I would think that you would be okay in a 32 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a small section of synthetic ice tile in my basement. I tried them on and they felt pretty big. Then I tried them with my hockey pants. That is when I realized they wouldn't work. I really like them, other than the sizing. Coming from Eflex pads, they are a little stiffer. There is less wrap around the skates which should allow better movements. I really like the strapping. The quality, fit and finish look good as well. With the season starting in two weeks, I must go back to stock CCM pads as I know they will work. I am keeping the gloves, as they should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your floor to knee and what size did you order? Mine is 20" which is the lower end of 32", are we sure the Leferve size chart allows for the chunky/flat boot?

FWIW I ordered a 33+1.5” 20.1 and wore a 33+2 EF4. The current 20.1s that I have are a smidge too tall in the shin and a bit too short on the thigh. I’m a 20” FTK as well and am looking at dropping down to a 32” with a +2 or +2.5 on the thigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL42 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 why do u guys order custom pads with stock sizing that is just stupid and dumb. ask the manf what measurment they need and the size of skate and thigh rise pref and tell them to make it so it fits u not the other way around. u dont goto a custom tailor and say make me a shirt off and give them a size u wear for some other brand. boot size for people are all different some people have small feet other have big. stop ordering modified stock sizing unless u own a retail store or fits perfectly in the pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAW the OX Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 For sizing comparisons of sizing between Lefevre pads and Brian’s 33+1 optik flx and L20.1 32+1.5 the pads are almost identical heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanR3KC Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Ordered L20.1 last week through Rance at the Goalie Crease. Can’t stress enough to measure yourself before ordering. I was in Large Bauer 2X Pro (35+1). Ordered 32 + 2.5 in Lefevre. I’m 6’1” and FTK is 21.5 I was amazed how a 32 in Lefevre lined up to the knee block and sliding edge in a Large 2X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
